Arizona Cardinals Target Key Depth Players in Free Agency

As the NFL free agency period approaches, the Arizona Cardinals are focusing on re-signing key depth players, particularly those who contributed significantly last season, according to general manager Monti Ossenfort. With free agency starting on March 10, Ossenfort emphasized the importance of retaining players who played vital roles for the team, although he acknowledged the uncertainty of negotiations. Additionally, addressing needs at edge rusher and interior defensive line is a priority for the Cardinals, with strong prospects available in the draft, including standout Walter Nolen. The team faces competition in retaining talent, as several players are set to test the market, with mixed evaluations on their potential departures. Among these players, offensive lineman Hernandez could be a significant loss if he follows a former coach to another team. Overall, the Cardinals are in a critical position to bolster their roster through both free agency and the upcoming draft.
